2:38 "With miles that are similar to what you find in a 4-wheeled vehicle." The established record for an RC36 comes from a reliable report from an English despatch rider (courier) from the early 2000's. He used his '90 VFR750 day in, day out for years as a work vehicle and got 416,000 miles out of it.... He then replaced the engine and got 442,000 miles out of the second engine. And all in the same frame and all from a 750cc V4 that will happily rev to 12K RPM. That's engineering integrity.

So about time they fixed the v4 Remember the vf750??? Shat cams like babies shit err shit. Unreliable piece of shit. The vf1000 wasnt any better. And btw, an engine that is in constant use, running all day suffers less wear overall. Its frequent start up and shut down that kills engines.

Over fifty years I’ve been fortunate enough to ride many bikes over many miles. In my not so humble opinion, the Honda VFR has one of the best internal combustion engines ever produced, it has character, reliability and - other than the cost of valve adjustments - isn’t ridiculously expensive. Once obtained, it’s a hard bike to get rid of and most who sell them, regret it. I certainly don’t regret keeping mine!

This was one of the video´s that finally convinced my , to buy a RC36. This second winter with the C-19 crap , got me so frustrated and grumpy, that I was searching the net for all kinds of vehicles, just to bring change into my life come spring time. I even looked at choppers(!) like a Honda CMX450. I thought "maybe that is good for my nerves"... Yesterday I went into the garage and installed a fresh battery into my shiny black 1990 RC36 , that I´ve stored for 6 months and hit the button: bam...it was there , like it couldn´t wait. I drove around for 2 hours and it was like psychotherapy...What a perfect bike. The roar , the handling, the solidity due to the weight, makes it such an awesome cruiser. I used to spent 5 years racing on trackdays every other weekend all over Europe and mostly on Suzuki GSXR 1000´s with 170+HP. I drove them through the German countryside and went 300 on the autobahn for so long that it became almost boring. My car at that time was the famous Honda S2000, which I had a used MY00 first and a new one MY08 later. These cars are not outright fast, but they feel fast and drive in a very exiting manner. The sound of it , makes you feel like driving a full blown race car. Same thing with the RC36: It is not really a fast bike, but the way it rides creates so much confidence, that you can squeeze every performance out of it effortlessly, without having to be Valentino Rossi. On top of it, the noises it makes, gives you the impression of riding a Ducati Panigale...it really is a fascinating mixture.

1-I have a VFR 800, love it. That white 750 is extremely beautiful. Love every viffer. 2-Not true that Ducati engines are unreliable. Maintenance intervals are more frequent, but the engines are long lasting if well mainteined. 3-Viffers are built like a tank, but the electric part is substandard. Connectors, rectifier, stator - every VFR owners knows that they are subject to frequent failures. Except for that, the machine is bulletproof.

"50,000 miles on the clock, good luck Ducati" HAHA. You know its not uncommon for a Diavel or Multistrada to have 50,000 + miles on it with no issues right? In reality its not uncommon for bikes from all the manufacturers to have examples of there products that go the long haul. 50k - 100k is not uncommon to find from any manufacturer. Doing the basics of maintenance and not keeping it outside goes a long way in making your bike last. Good videos tho.

Reviews of older bikes is a great idea, (I watch the Men and Motors vids too) but I'd like to hear more facts and less hearsay. I don't meant to be too critical, but for example you repeatedly compare this bike to the race version and it was never intended to be a race replica. It was always designed to be an all-rounder. You talk about the weight like it's a Harley while the VFR weighs a huge 80 lbs more than a Ninja 500 (sarcasm) With "all that weight" and only 102 HP it'll do an 11 second 1/4 mile. Please consider including more hard data and quoting it. Oh, and the RC45 was a pure homologation special, all race bike.

Yea. The VFR is a classic. You have to ride one to completely understand what all the hype is all about. I bought a nc24 in my 30s and rode the hell out of it. Got married and sold it and then bought a VFR800Fi. Still have it. Only trouble was the rectifier. I replaced it with a Yamaha one that is much bigger and has plenty of heat sink to keep things cool. Other than that part, it is 100% Honda. Last year I got a 1995NC30 for my son. 110kmh in 1st gear. That is completely nuts. If you can get one, get it. You wont be sorry.

I remember back in 83 when the VF750F Interceptor hit the showrooms in Canada. It's still my favourite style of Interceptor with the engine being on display instead of hidden away. However, I finally bought a 95 VFR750 about six years ago and it is absolutely superb. Some claim the 4th gen is the best motorcycle ever built. All thing considered I can't disagree. I wonder if sometime down the road of time remaining examples will be as sought after as Vincent Black Shadows.

I loved owning and riding mine...same as this one only red. Best sounding bike on the road and I left quite a few Mr Ducati's behind me in the twisties...when they finally catch up at the pub at the bottom of the Gilles "what have you done to that thing"? My answer of "Absolutely nothing, bone stock except for pipes" They were disbelieving.....I have another Honda now...97 Blackbird...what a rocketship!

Expencive...? Try europe! Here in holland you will find a lot of these bikes in good condition for 1000 euro's or less... 😉. Check www.marktplaats.nl and you will find them. Sorry the adverticing will be in Dutch, but almost all Dutch people speak englisch do give them a call 😉👍

Just like Honda to not support their bikes past 10 years. Did you know you can still build a complete BMS R90S from the parts catalog? So much for Honda Service and support.

Best feature of the VFRs: the metal brake fluid reservoir. Every time I see a cheap and plastic one on just about every other motorcycle made, I wonder why manufacturers don't make them look better than ugly plastic little blobs. Honda got it right.

Bryan Ischo it’s much easier to service and cheaper to replace plastic reservoirs. Just bled a metal one today and it was a huge pita because of how they’re fixed on the bar and can’t move. It also makes the front brake assembly heavier, more expensive to replace and difficult to install in a different spot

Many people will stick with the stock rear tire size of 170/60r17 for a 1990-1993. Some people like myself will go to the 180/55r17. This is the largest/widest rear tire you can put under it. Some people will say that the larger tire will downgrade the "flickability" of the bike. I've run both tire sizes back and forth, and as they wear out, I can tell you it is true, but barely noticeable. As you flatten out the 170/60 towards the end of its life, putting on a brand new 180/55 will have great improvement at first. But as the 180/55 flattens out over time, you begin to notice it. That being said, it hasn't stopped me or hindered me in any way. I notice it because of how long I have owned the bike and know the difference between the two different tire sizes because I've switched back and forth. And again, I prefer a brand new 180/55zr17 on the rear and a stock size 120/70-r17 in the front. Change the rear between 3k to 5k miles and I don't think you'll really notice a difference in "flickability" with the larger tire, but you will notice an improvement in grip
